[dirty88rex]

i buaght this 88 crx for $75 it been fucked since 1999 when i got it the computer was in the seat, thats the big silver one right? anyway it wont spark and the fuel pump doesnt kick on. its really pissing me off. PLEASE HELP!!!!

[marked001]

..dumb question.. but is the ecu now plugged in?

[1990civicdxhb]

if it is plugged in & the fuel pumps not kicking on,
you probably need a new fuel pump,
if it isn't giving any spark,
do a basic tune up,if that dont help,its probably nothing more
then a coil or module
I'd say if the car was in bad shape,it probably needs a fixer upper,
hers a good list:

spark plugs,
spark plug wires,
distributor cap,
rotor button,
oil change,
fuel filter,
obviously a fuel pump,
(maybe: ignition coil,control module,(if bad))
maybe: alternator belt,battery,
all of the things listed above you can get at an autoparts store,
rounded off to about 350.00,unless you junkyarded it or classifieds,
& you'd pretty much be good to go....

if the ecu is plugged in...check the little wires grounded to the thermostat housing ,their the grounds for the ecu,,,and or the 12 volt main relay up under the dash near the door on the driver side ( their known for bad welds).

also, when you turn they ignition key to the "on" position, the ecu should blink once to show that its getting power. Does it?

I'll second checking the main relay. Mine started going bad and it drove me nuts.
